KEY POCKETBOOK.

Application led December 24, 1921. Serial No. 524,694.

To all whom it may concern.'

Be it known that I, LoEsnR KALINA, a' citizen of the United States, and a resident of the city of New York, borough of Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Key Pocketbook, of which the following isa full, clear, and exact description. I

The present invention relates to new and useful improvements in key-holders, and it pertains more particularly to key-holders of the enclosed type.

It is one of the primary objects of the invention to provide a new and improved form of key-holder in which the keys are com pletely enclosed.

It is a further object of the invention to so construct a key-holder that when the same is closed, the keys are kept free from dirt and the like.

It is a further object of the invention to provide a key holder which is entirely closed and so constructed that money or other articles carried in the same pocket with the key-holder will not be accidentally withdrawn upon the removal of the keyholder for the reason that said articles cannot enter the key-holder owing to the fact that the ends of the key receptacle are closed.

1t is a further object of the invention to so construct a key-holder that when the same is opened, the keys will be automatically withdrawn from the key receptacle.

It is a still further object of the invention to construct a new and improved form of identification device adapted to be used in connection with key-holders.

Referring to the drawings,

Figure 1 is a' view in elevation of a key' holder in open osition;

Fig. 2 is a long1tudinal sectional view taken on the line 2--2 of Fig. 1; and

Fig. 3 is a longitudinal sectional view of the key-holder in closed position.

Referring to the drawings, the device comprises a main body or body portion 5 to one end of which is secured a secondary body portion 6, by means of stitching or the like. This structure forms a pocket 8 in which the keys are adapted to be `received when the holder is in closed position.

The main body portion or body 5 is extended as indicated by the reference character 9, and the lateral dimension of said extension 9 is slightly reduced with respect to the main body portion 5. Secured to the free end of the extension 9, as by means of a row of stitching 10 or the like, is a flap 11, and said flap has its lower corners cut away as indicated by the referenceecharacter 12, said cutawayv portion being unattached to the extension 9, asis also the lower tioned behind said sight opening in such a manner that the indicla carried by said card will pe displayed through said sight openin 1 he extension 9 is provided with a socket 20 and secured to the secondary body portion 6 is the head 21 of'a head-and-socket fastener, said head being adapted to be engaged in the socket to retain the device in closed position.

The deviceoperates in the following manner:

When the device is closed as indicated in Fig. 3, the several keys 16 occupy a position behind the body portion 6 with the extension 9 serving as the, closure for the pocket. When, however, the head-and-socket fastener are disengaged and the extension moved to the position shownlin Fig. l, the keys will be elevated to the position shown in sald figure, where they are free to be removed from behind the body portion 6, through the cut-out portion thereof.

By this construction it is apparent that as the device is opened, the keys are automatically withdrawn from the pocket in which they are contained when the device is closed, and upon the closing of the closing flap of the device, the keys are automatically positioned within the ocket between the main body portion 5 an the secondary body portion 6, where they will be protected from dirt or other accumulations in the pocket of the user.

I claim:

1. An article holder comprising a pair of members adapted to fold together to enclose articles therebetween, and article attaching devices carried by one of said members and adapted to move the articles carried thereby relative to the other member upon movement of the members to open or closed position.

3. As an article of manufacture, a keyholder comprising a main body portion formed with a pocket, an extension serving as a closing flap, an auxiliary flap secured to said extension and provided with a window opening adapted to display indicia carried by a card at the rear of said auxiliary flap, and a plurality of key-supporting hooks carried by said auxiliary ap.

4. As a new article of manufacture, a key holder comprising a main body portion formed with a key-receiving pocket, a. reduced extension of the body portion formed thereon and providing a closing Hap for said pocket, an auxiliary flap secured .to said extension on the inner face thereof, saidl auxihary flap having a lurality of perforations along one of its edp key-supporting Yelements mounted in said perforations, substantially as described.
